Eventually, every page is folded over and there is no crevice I have not penetrated. The stains from my tears soil every word, the deep passages, stuck together, frozen in time.
Then Landover Baptist sends me a new one, stamped with the Pastors own Personal Message®, just for me.
When God calls me Home© I want all my Bibles with me to return to Him.

Bless you, Brother Hutchins!! Your intricate and extremely specific description of a man's first tender encounter with the Holy Bible caused me to go right for the tissue to clean up after my flowing... uh... tears of joy.
